15 things I've learned from my 15 marathons

"It should be easy for you now." If I had a pound for every time someone said this to me, I'd have enough money to sign up for another couple of marathons.

The GT2000 11 has had a glow up and I’m here for it!

The new Novablast 3 TR

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with trial-running. Whilst the trails offer me a more relaxed pace (along with gorgeous views) - I struggle to stay upright, I'm useless at hills and I get frustrated that it takes me so long. Send me out on technical trails and I'll be out there all week!

Hell on the Humber

This is not the first time I have left Hull in the early hours of Sunday morning, with wobbly legs, and trying desperately to locate the nearest McDonalds. This time however, I had a huge sense of achievement and a shiny medal to show for my efforts!

Running is a sport that offers plenty of opportunities to volunteer from helping out at run clubs to parkrun, to an organised race.

A beginners guide to running

Banana bread? Baked it. Netflix? Completed it mate! and let’s face it - no one really wants another zoom quiz.

The Power of Teamwork

"Surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel, energies are contagious".

Running solo

Running has always been a huge social thing for me. Parkrun on a Saturday morning with that all important coffee after, a long Sunday run with friends and that chatty 5k after work. That was until 2020 happened. With no households mixing allowed for most of the year solo running has had to become the new normal for a lot of people.

With New Shoes, Everything is Right

2020 has been a very strange year. With most races and events cancelled it may seem like there is little to focus on running-wise. Without a goal it can become tough to keep that running-mojo. However, there’s always one thing that's always guaranteed to give my training a boost and that’s a shiny new pair of running shoes.

How to Find Your First Running Shoes

They say that running is a simple sport - all you need is a pair of shoes. But with so many to chose from how do you know which ones are right for you?

Workout with Running Friends Digitally

Heading to parkrun on a Saturday morning was one of the highlights of my week - especially the post-run brunch/coffee! It was a guaranteed catch up with friends with a 5k run thrown in for good measure. Running for me has always been a huge social thing. With the current COVID-19 global pandemic happening - social sports have been cancelled. For the time being, we are all riding solo.

Fitting Marathon Training with Work

February - the shortest month on the calendar, even if it is a day longer than usual this year! Training for those spring marathons is well underway and race day is getting closer. Most marathon plans consist of around 16 weeks training, where you'll typically run three to five times a week. It can all seem a little overwhelming and a question I'm often asked is ‘How do you manage to fit it all in?’

Race Review: Yorkshire Marathon

Yorkshire – God’s own country, home of Yorkshire Tea, Yorkshire puddings and one of the UK’s most popular marathons.

Award for Best Running Shoe Goes to

When it comes to running shoes (and life, if I'm honest) I'm a girl who likes a bit of stability. I think I've finally found 'the one' with the Gel-Kayano - they currently tick all the boxes for me. A coupIe of weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive the new GT-2000 8 so I was excited to see how they compared.

Staying Safe in the Dark

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons of the year. Digging out the cosy knitwear and indulging in pumpkin-spiced lattes. The cooler temperatures are perfect for running but limited daylight can mean that you often run in the dark.

'OMG, these are incredible' was my first impression when I unboxed these beauties.
